Thinking LS and was curious about HP difference between stock LS manifolds and headers.Tired of bad header gaskets and no room around the headers.When I make the transition to LS I want to make the right decision on exhaust.

If I'm not mistaken the manifolds have there own clearance issues with Gen 1 subframe crossmembers. Regarding HP, the OEM's are posting adequate numbers with them.

These guys have some very interesting products that look like they solve a lot of clearance issues without giving up a bunch of power. Stielow is using them on his latest car.

If you decide to run manifolds i'm sure the power could be made up somewhere else.

I talked with these guys the other day and these look like great headers and nice price to the tune of about $1000. They told me it was going to be a couple weeks before they would be ready to ship. I am gonna order a set as soon as they email with the word they are ready!

Ultimate Headers will be able to help! Our new 321 SS headers are designed with a 1.875" diameter tubing with tight radius cast stainless elbows that allows them to fit in tight spaces, while making power!
When tested on a Katech built 427 LS3 making 581 HP, we picked up 41 HP over factory cast iron manifolds, and 18 over factory Z06 manifolds!
Please contact us with any other questions, happy to help with your Camaro!
Thanks!

Do you have full length first gen Camaro headers for an Art Morrison sub?
The headers above look short.
